PILLAR 01 · OUTCOME-PRICED

Predictive Pipeline
& Attribution

Third-party tracking is dead. The agencies winning in 2026 are the ones rebuilding the data system on the client's side of the fence - server-side events, UTM-to-CRM pipelines, blended attribution models, and forecasts the CFO actually trusts. We ship the system, instrument the closed loop, and price against pipeline velocity.

THE PROBLEM IN YOUR VERTICAL

How attribution actually breaks in healthcare and energy.

Both verticals share a long sales cycle, strict data regulation, and attribution chains the typical agency dashboard cannot model. The fix is the same shape; the constraints differ.

WE SHIP

Real artifacts. Not "deliverables."

ARTIFACT 01

Server-side event pipeline

Server-side GA4 + custom event stream into the data warehouse you already own. No browser-only events, no third-party-cookie dependency, no data leaking through ad networks.

ARTIFACT 02

UTM → CRM bridge

Every campaign-tagged touch lands on the right account in Salesforce / HubSpot. Closed-won status flows back to the warehouse the same day, not the same quarter.

ARTIFACT 03

MMM-blended attribution model

Multi-touch attribution where data permits, marketing mix modeling where it doesn't. Reconciles weekly. Defensible in front of finance.

ARTIFACT 04

Pipeline forecast dashboard

A single dashboard showing committed pipeline, predicted close-by-quarter, and the marketing investment driving each. The CFO learns it in 10 minutes.

ENGAGEMENT SHAPE

Typical first 12 weeks.

WEEKS 1–2

Attribution audit

Stack inventory, data-flow map, identified gaps. One page of recommendations. Fixed-fee.

WEEKS 3–6

Server-side instrumentation

GA4 server-side, event schema, warehouse landing zone. First closed-loop event by week six.

WEEKS 7–10

Model + dashboard build

MMM-blended attribution. Pipeline forecast dashboard live for internal review.

WEEKS 11–12

First quarterly review

Reallocation recommendations against the new model. Roadmap for the next quarter.

Reblend rebuilt our attribution from last-click to MMM-blended in nine weeks. We reallocated ~32% of paid budget in the first quarter and stopped guessing.

Most attribution engagements open the road to the other two pillars.

Once the data system is clean, the obvious next moves are (a) an AI workflow that turns the warehouse into an internal Q&A surface for sales, and (b) a high-performance front-end that captures the new events at scale.

Scope a Predictive Pipeline sprint.

Typical first sprint - two weeks, fixed fee. You own the audit and the recommendation regardless of next steps.
